=head1 Math::Decimal::FastPP

Math::Decimal::FastPP provides a few common decimal arithmetic and
rounding functions written in pure Perl.  The functions are of course
slower than Perl's built-in binary floating-point math, but they're
faster than L<Math::BigFloat> and other commonly used decimal math
modules.

This module is currently less complete than Perl's built-in math and
other decimal math modules.  So far it only includes addition,
multiplication, and two rounding functions.

Despite the similar name and purpose, this module is not compatible with
L<Math::Decimal>.

=head2 INSTALLATION

To install this module, run the following commands:

    perl Makefile.PL
    make
    make test
    make install

=head2 DOCUMENTATION

Documentation for this module is embedded within it and can be formatted
with perldoc:

    perldoc lib/Math/Decimal/FastPP.pm

After installing, you can refer to the module by name instead of by file
path:

    perldoc Math::Decimal::FastPP
